Good evening everyone. Apologies for not posting much, but as you can imagine, it has been quite a busy week preparing for this storm. I want to just touch on some high level thoughts for the Houston Metro heading into the overnight.

The next few hours will be quiet and should be mostly fine around the Houston area. Roads are wet. Fog may be locally dense. It is cold. If you can stay home, do so, but if you have any last minute things to tie up, you can through 9-10 PM I imagine. Pipes, plants, pets, ppl.

After midnight, it's beginning to look like we'll see more showers concurrent with temperatures easing back toward freezing. This is where we risk roads icing up, in some cases somewhat suddenly. Travel after midnight anywhere north and west of Houston is not advised.

I wonder how on earth Indians became the best friends of jews!
Just the 5 beginning chapters of the Old Testament which are mainly about the basic laws, shows the greatest opposite things from Hinduism and Vedic theology!

In this thread I put the main differences of the first 5 chapters of the Old Testament to Vedic/Hinduism.

1/14 What fucking BULLSHIT. Today you asked Jack Smith a question...which you REFUSED to let him answer. A Democrat even had to tell you "let him answer the question" "This is my time" you said. Because you WOULDN'T let him answer, I will answer FOR him. There is a REASON you

2/14 wouldn't let him answer. Because you KNEW the answer already, because he answered it in his closed door deposition with YOU already during his closed door session earlier. You are a SLIMY human being. Anyway, your question was "Why did you state that the Speaker of the House

3/14 was a flight risk when you asked for a nondisclosure order? Did you think the Speaker was going to leave the country?" What Jack Smith WANTED to say, but you COWARDLY wouldn't LET him, is this: Jack Smith NEVER claimed that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was a flight risk, but

How is Hinduism blasphemous to the book of Deuteronomy:

The Book of Deuteronomy presents a comprehensive theological and legal framework centered on a singular, personal God (Yahweh) who chooses a specific people (Israel), gives them absolute commandments, prohibits idolatry, promises blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, and directs them to conquer and inhabit a physical promised land.

1. Theological Pluralism vs. Exclusive Monotheism

· Deuteronomy: Yahweh alone is God; worship of other gods is strictly forbidden (Deut 5:7–9).
· Vedic/Hindu View: The Rig Veda presents a pluralistic theology where the one ultimate reality is approached through many manifestations. The famous verse 1.164.46 states, “They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni… To what is One, sages give many a title”. This henotheistic or polytheistic framework fundamentally contradicts Deuteronomy’s exclusive monotheism.

2. Acceptance of Idol (Murti) Worship vs. Absolute Prohibition

· Deuteronomy: Strict prohibition against making or worshipping any graven image (Deut 4:15–19).
· Vedic/Hindu View: Idol worship is neither mandatory nor prohibited in Hinduism. The Vedas are interpreted as encouraging a complete knowledge of both the formless and manifested aspects of God, not as banning image worship. The practice of using physical images (murtis) as aids to devotion is a mainstream Hindu tradition, directly opposing the Deuteronomic ban.

3. Caste Hierarchy (Varṇa) vs. Covenant Equality

· Deuteronomy: Israel is a covenant community under one law; no inherent social hierarchy is divinely ordained.
· Vedic/Hindu View: Society is divinely divided into four hereditary varṇas (castes) originating from the Purusha Sukta (Rig Veda 10.90), which describes the creation of the four social classes from the body of the cosmic being. This birth-based hierarchy is antithetical to the concept of a uniformly chosen people under a single law.

4. Karma & Rebirth vs. Linear History & Divine Retribution

· Deuteronomy: God directly blesses obedience and curses disobedience within a linear historical narrative (Deut 28).
· Vedic/Hindu View: The universe operates according to the impersonal law of karma and the cycle of rebirth (saṃsāra). The Bhagavad Gita teaches that the soul is eternal and undergoes repeated births and deaths shaped by its own actions. This system of self-generated consequences across lifetimes negates the Deuteronomic model of a personal God dispensing temporal blessings and curses to a nation in a single life.

5. Ahiṃsā (Non-Violence) vs. Sanctified Warfare

· Deuteronomy: Commands total war against the inhabitants of the promised land (Deut 7:1–2; 20:16–18).
· Vedic/Hindu View: Ahiṃsā (non-violence) is a cardinal virtue. While the Kshatriya (warrior) has a duty to fight in a just war (dharma-yuddha), the principle of non-harm to all living beings is supreme. The slaughter of non-combatants, women, and children as prescribed in Deuteronomy has no sanction in Hindu ethics.

6. Dietary Rules: Purity vs. Clean/Unclean

· Deuteronomy: Declares certain animals clean or unclean based on physical traits (e.g., split hoof, chewing cud). Pork is forbidden, but beef is permitted.
· Vedic/Hindu View: Dietary rules are based on purity, caste, and the principle of ahiṃsā. Beef is considered the most polluting and abhorrent due to the sacred status of the cow. Many texts, like the Manu Smṛti, advocate for vegetarianism, stating that “meat can never be obtained without injury to living creatures”.

7. No “Chosen People” vs. Elect Nation

· Deuteronomy: Israel is God’s “treasured possession,” a holy people chosen from all nations (Deut 7:6).
· Vedic/Hindu View: Hinduism is fundamentally pluralistic and non-exclusive. As one summary notes, “there is no one chosen path and no one chosen people”. All paths are considered valid, and spiritual liberation is open to all, irrespective of birth or affiliation.

8. Dharma vs. Divine Commandment

· Deuteronomy: Law is a set of divine commandments revealed by God and binding on the community.
· Vedic/Hindu View: Dharma is not a set of commanded laws but a contextual duty based on one’s nature, stage of life, and social position. The ultimate authority is not a divine legislator but the impersonal cosmic order (ṛta) and the law of karma.

9. Goal: Mokṣa (Liberation) vs. Territorial Inheritance

· Deuteronomy: The promised goal is a physical territory – a land flowing with milk and honey.
· Vedic/Hindu View: The ultimate goal is mokṣa – liberation from the cycle of birth and death (saṃsāra). Earthly territory is part of the transient world (māyā); the true quest is for transcendent freedom.

10. Prophecy & Revelation

· Deuteronomy: God reveals His will through chosen prophets like Moses; the revelation is final and authoritative.
· Vedic/Hindu View: Knowledge is discovered by sages (ṛṣis) through meditation and insight. The Vedas are considered eternal wisdom (śruti) that was “heard,” not revealed by a personal God to a single prophet. Hinduism “recognizes no prophet as having exclusive claim over spiritual truth”.

1. Is that why Newsom keeps talking about knee pads?

3. Yeah that sums it up

I'm sorry, but this statistic:

>>Violent crime is falling, with homicides down ~21%. The largest annual drop on record.

...has been heavily polluted by improvements in trauma care, particularly hemostatic (blood clotting) bandages.

US Trauma care & FBI statistics🧵

1/

https://twitter.com/QuantusInsights/status/2014730146347954292

The statistical comparison in the FBI data from pre-1961 is invalid as the underlying medical systems have so changed as to utterly pollute the "murders per 100,000" data.

Violent crime data pre-1961 and post 1961 are apples to oranges comparisons.

2/

-Trauma care centers (1961),

-Standardized trauma procedures (1978),

-Adoption of military Korea/Vietnam medical emergency treatment & air transport procedures,

-Improved triage (1986)

-And (since 2011) widespread adoption and use of blood clotting bandages...

🧵The “General Strike” is the Far-Left dream scenario.

Listen to the progression in this clip. It starts with outrage over a shooting tied to ICE, then quickly moves to “it won’t be the Democrats” and “it won’t be anyone in the White House.” The conclusion is not reform or accountability, but escalation: “we shut it down” and “we launch a general strike.”

That’s not a narrow demand about ICE enforcement. It’s a broader revolutionary frame that rejects normal politics and treats mass economic disruption as the end goal.

It’s also worth noting this is a Singham Network talking point, and they’re pushing it hard. And have been for months.

“A general strike is the next step… to build a socialist future.”

Anyone? A somewhat racist piece of garbage - #WhiteTrash German 'activist' Gerhard Torges (@GTorges) & his mobbing and slandering friends @bohngiorno, @RitterinVomNi, @amantes_amantes and more Garbage here are slandering me and framing me as a doxxer because they want to stop me

calling out the names of their friends who Doxxed and mobbed people here over many years. Now the are pissed because I sent all their private data and addresses to leftist and anonymous activists making sure everyone knows that thes people cannot be trusted and are a risk!

Their data is available in the net since years and if they are threatened or Doxxed by others that s neither my responsibility nor concern nor should it be yours, just stay away and ignore those clowns. They have problems you do not wanna be a part of

My MCAS=>HyperPOTS flare coincide with low C3 and normalize in between the flares

Together with ⬆️Factor VIII/VonWillenbrand in bad flares+low C3

=> alternative complement pathway+mast cell activation leading to endothelial activation => autonomic instability/dysautonomia

Factor VIII is a non-specific marker of mast cell activation and would be elevated together w/VWF (carries FVIII), in flares both are ⬆️10-20% for me

FVIII+VWF+C3 normalize when not in MCAS flare

4wks ago (moderate flare) low C3/normal FVIII+VWF, 2 wks ago C3 back to normal

Once activated, alternative complement pathway with C3 will result in C3a and C5a, which both act as anaphylotoxins and trigger mast cells, whereas mast cells can also store and release both C3a and C5a, which amplifies immune response initiated by complement system

@SDAFS56788141 @LatFilosof @SimonSaysJ15 @KingOfSalt4 @IanCopeland5 18% figure comes from counting the 238 million base pairs identified as "non-syntenic."
By that metric, human to human differences can be up to 6-8%.

@SDAFS56788141 @LatFilosof @SimonSaysJ15 @KingOfSalt4 @IanCopeland5 By that metric chimp-gorilla genomes differ by 17.9% to 27.3%.

I'm totally fine if you want to abandon the chimp-human similarity argument before you lose it and move on to the human-specific mutations. I just so happened to have had 4 tabs open with the most recent papers on great ape genome sequencing when you first made that comment.
So, it's not really a fair fight.

Protesters are now on top of local businesses as Anti-Ice protesters still hold the intersection of Nicollet and 26th in large numbers.

Barricades still remain; tables from a local business are strewn together on the north end. Local businesses are providing food/drink; residents are also providing anti-fog wipes for googles, hats and masks as temperatures continue to plummet below zero into the evening.

All authorities were pushed out of the area since about 1PM; I’ve only observed some sitting MPD several blocks away.

Per MPD Police Chief Brian O’Hara, I do think it’s fair to say that the entire site is currently ‘stable’; however, I’d argue the situation is still volatile; it’s still quite early and people remain incredibly energized and emotions are high as several blocks up and Nicollet remain blocked off - people are kind to one another, helping each other in the cold etc; local business like the Glam Doll Donuts are offering shelter and free coffee. However, it remains to be seen how this crowd moves if/when ICE agents are next spotted in the area and how the barricades/street take over will be handled by authorities into the evening. A considerable amount of people are gas masked up, googles on and ready for confrontation whatever that may be if any.
